Zusammenfassung der Ressource

Frage 1

Frage
A body behaves as if its whole mass were concentrated at one point.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 2

Frage
Every body has a centre of [blank_start]mass[blank_end].
Antworten
  • mass

Frage 3

Frage
For a human, the centre of [blank_start]mass[blank_end] is somewhere in the [blank_start]midddle[blank_end] and the [blank_start]vertical[blank_end] line from it must be within the [blank_start]area[blank_end] enclosed by its [blank_start]feet[blank_end] or else it will [blank_start]fall[blank_end] over.
Antworten
  • mass
  • middle
  • vertical
  • area
  • feet
  • fall

Frage 4

Frage
The [blank_start]centre[blank_end] of mass of a regulary [blank_start]shaped[blank_end] body that has the same [blank_start]density[blank_end] throughout is at its [blank_start]centre[blank_end]. In other cases it can be [blank_start]found[blank_end] by an [blank_start]experiment[blank_end].
Antworten
  • centre
  • shaped
  • density
  • centre
  • found
  • experiment

Frage 5

Frage
When the vertical line of a body's centre of mass doesn't go through the area of the body, the body will topple over.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 6

Frage
The [blank_start]stability[blank_end] of a body is [blank_start]increased[blank_end] by: (i) [blank_start]lowering[blank_end] its centre of mass, and (ii) [blank_start]increasing[blank_end] the area of its [blank_start]base[blank_end]
Antworten
  • stability
  • increased
  • lowering
  • increasing
  • base

Frage 7

Frage
[blank_start]Unstable[blank_end] equilibrium is when a body moves [blank_start]further[blank_end] away from its [blank_start]previous[blank_end] position when it is slightly displaced and then released.
Antworten
  • Unstable
  • further
  • previous

Frage 8

Frage
[blank_start]Neutral[blank_end] equilibrium is when a body [blank_start]stays[blank_end] in its [blank_start]new[blank_end] position when [blank_start]displaced[blank_end].
Antworten
  • Neutral
  • stays
  • new
  • displaced

Frage 9

Frage
[blank_start]Stable[blank_end] equilibirum is when a body is slightly displaced and when it is released it [blank_start]returns[blank_end] to its [blank_start]previous[blank_end] position.
Antworten
  • Stable
  • returns
  • previous
